Cuban Exile Community

The Cuban Exile Community consists of Cuban refugees who left Cuba, particularly after the Cuban Revolution in 1959, when Fidel Castro established a communist government. Many fled due to political persecution, economic hardships, or fears for their safety. They primarily settled in the United States, especially in Florida, and have significantly influenced American culture and politics. The community is known for its vibrant culture, activism for democracy in Cuba, and efforts to maintain Cuban heritage. Over the years, they have contributed to discussions about U.S.-Cuba relations and have formed organizations to advocate for their interests.
